Feral Free

In an exotic country of bursting colour A paradise for majestic and exquisite birds Shameless poachers and traffickers Conduct unspeakable injustices Conjuring a movement of resistance From a tireless passionate activist group On the hunt for wildlife held in captivity Clever brave and stealth taking action Aiming to unshackle and set the innocent free With their echoing liberating mantra There’s no such thing as ‘exotic pets’ Suffice their ransom to see feral birds fly away Exalting in their newfound freedom All the wiser and never to be seen again Submitted on January 11, 2021 for contest PODIUM PLACING PROMISE (6) sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 2ND and July 31, 2018 for FERAL POETRY CONTEST sponsored by ANTHONY SLAUSEN

I want all of the innocent to be free, this reminded me of that. Unspeakable acts, yes, I agree. A reminder we could all use, Line.

Birds are very intelligent, when they aren't treated right, they know how to fly away. We humans should take note, lol, Thank you for sharing Line, ps I own a bird, and I take good care of him, and he is still here. he is a gloucester canary

There are many pet owners who adore their birds. I don't think the poachers are so loving.
